TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONGERN:

Be it known that I, G. W. KING, of Saratoga Springs, in the county of Saratoga, and Stato of NewYork, have invented a new and improved Vagina-Injector; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompaning drawings, forming part of this specification, in which-- rThe gure is a vertical section of my improved instrument.

My invention has for itsobject to furnishnn improved instrument to take the place of the female syringes now in use, and whiclr shall at the same time' be simple in construction, and more satisfactory in usc.-

And it consists of the instrument` constructed and arrangedv as hereinafter more fully described. i

A is the bowl or cup, which should be made cylindrical in form, and should be about three inches in depth and two inches in diameter.

B is a tube, about six inches in length, formed upon the side of the cup A, in such a posi lion that the central line of the tube B may strike the side'of the cup A, at a point, the distance of which, from the top of the cup, shall be equal to one-third of the entire length of the said cup).

The outsideA diameter of the tube B should be from live-eighths to three-fourths of an inch.. and its-inside diameter should be about three-eighths of an'inch.

The lower side of the tube B should be about one-fourth of an inch longer thanA its ,upper side, so that its outer end may be inclined or slanting, andits edges should be rounded oil, as shown in the ligure.

The part of the tube B that joins the cup or bowl A, for the Vdistance of about one inch, should be made Afunnel-shaped, as shown in the drawing, so that the liquid may more readily flow from the said eupfinto and through the said tube. y

C is a cover, formed upon the top or mouth of the cup or bowl A, upon the side at which the tube B is placed, and which should cover about'one-third of the area of said top. Y

In case the partial cover C is formed uponrthc top of the cup or bowl A, it is not so necessary that tbc opening from the said cup to the tube B should be made funnel-shaped, though I generally prefer to make it in that shape.

Various sizes of the instrument should be made, according to the various sizes of the persons-upon whom theinstrument is to b e used, so that the dimensions herein given should be taken rather as proportional than ns actual dimensions.

In using the instrument,the liquid to be used should he placed in the cup or bowl A, and the outer end of the tube 'B inserted for about an inch in the vagina.

The cup or bowl A is then slightly raised, so that the liquid from the cup or bowl A may llow throughthe tube B into and along the passage, the instrument being at the Sametime moved slowly forward and back through said passage. v v

Then, by slightly depressing the cup or bowl A, the liquid will ilow backthrough :the 'tube B into the said cup or bowl A, carrying with it whatsoever impurities it may have acquired.

By this instrument the objects of the injection aro more easily, conveniently, and surely eected, and the secretions and impurities more thoroughly removed than they can be by means of an ordinary syringe.

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. An improved vagina-injector, formed by the combination of the bowl or cup A' and tube B, said partsA being constructed and arranged substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

2. Forming a partial cover, C, upon the top or mouth oi' the cup or bowl A of the injector, substantially as herein shown'and described, and for the purpose set forth.

The above specification of my invention .signed by me, this 27th day of April, 1868.
